Another success for WS Interactive: the agency launches the new website for the Grand Auch Cœur de Gascogne ‘Pays d’art et d’histoire’!
The entire team at WS Interactive, our Toulouse-based web agency, is immensely proud. Following an exciting call for tenders, we had the privilege of winning the creation and development of the brand-new website for Grand Auch Cœur de Gascogne, an exceptional region awarded the official ‘Pays d’art et d’histoire’ (Region of Art and History) label.
Our mission? To design a true digital showcase to promote the tangible, intangible, and natural heritage of Auch and its surroundings.
A tailor-made design to highlight Gascon heritage
From the very beginning, the creative challenge was significant: we had to design a modern interface while strictly respecting the official graphic guidelines of the ‘Pays d’art et d’histoire’ label.
Our designers created a strong, immersive, and elegant visual identity that immediately won over the client. The objective has been fully met: the website invites exploration and reflects the rich historical and cultural heritage of Gascogne from the very first second of navigation.
Promoting the region through news and interactivity
The new website is much more than just a showcase; it is a living space. Visitors can find:
- The latest local news to stay up to date with everything happening in the area.
- A comprehensive calendar of events, guided tours, and activities.
- Exclusive digital exhibitions, offering a fun and interactive way to discover the heritage from afar.”
WS Interactive’s technical expertise: Performance and third-party tools
Behind the aesthetics lies a solid and sustainable technical architecture. True to our quality standards, we built this website using WordPress (version 7), a solution that offers flexible and scalable content management for the Grand Auch teams.
- Third-party tool integration: To enrich the user experience, we interconnected the website with various third-party public platforms and tools (via iframes and APIs), seamlessly centralizing all information.
- Scalability and compliance: The web is moving, and so is legislation! From the very start, the website was designed to integrate planned future features while fully complying with GDPR. As for digital accessibility, this is one of the next major milestones we will be working on.
Outstanding performance delivered
Eco-design and technical optimization are more than just buzzwords at WS Interactive. The results of the technical audits (PageSpeed) speak for themselves and border on perfection: an outstanding score of 98/100 in Performance, combined with 100/100 in Best Practices and 100/100 in SEO. This guarantees an ultra-fast, smooth, and perfectly optimized website, even for a user checking the event calendar on their mobile phone while wandering down a historic alley in Auch.
A human collaboration above all
Beyond lines of code and graphic mock-ups, this project is first and foremost a wonderful human adventure. We would like to warmly salute the fantastic collaboration with our client contacts, Élodie, whose dedication, clarity, and enthusiasm helped bring this project to fruition in an ideal working atmosphere. Thank you to them for their trust!”
